The Felt Nine Comp features a double-butted Superlite aluminium frame designed to optimize the trail-riding advantages of the larger 29-inch wheels. It uses double butted 6061 aluminium with a hydroformed top tube, forged bottom bracket yoke, IS disc mounts, oversized integrated head tube for integrated headset and a replaceable derailleur hanger.


The suspension fork on the Nine Comp is the Rockshox Recon Silver TK solo air 29 which has an ample 100mm of travel and features turnkey lockout and adjustable rebound, with lightweight magnesium lowers and a post mount disc mount. This makes for a fork with plenty of adjustability for dialling in your preferred riding style on the trail or fine tuning according to different trail conditions.

The hydraulic disc brakes use Shimano's trusty BL-M505 levers mated to their equally reliable BR-M446 calipers. They use 180mm Centerlock rotor a the front with a 160mm Centerlock rotor outback. This means braking performance will be good and when it comes to replacing pads or bleeding the system spares and serviceability are straight-forward.

Wheels are Shimano RM35 hubs laced to WTB Speed Disc All Mtn rims using double butted stainless spokes so durability should be good too. You get a triple octalink chainset also from Shimano and a good quality 10 speed Shimano Deore drivetrain fills out the rest of the group.

All up the Felt Nine Comp makes for a great value trail partner and allows you to dip your toe in the 29er pond without breaking the bank.
